Finnickey wireless- downloading updates fail but i can still surf web!!!

hey all,
I'm proud to say that i just purchased a new iMac. unfortunately, the only form of internet access in my area thus far has been dial-up. however, when i booted up my iMac for the first time, it found a network called "default" that is giving a very strong signal! to my delight, safari opend right up and i was surfing the net high-speed! oddly, when i run "software update" it starts downloading the updates fine, however, if i just let it be, the "estimated time" gets larger and larger until it just says, "--remaining". ultimately the download fails and it says, "...be sure you can connec to the internet." the thing is, i DO have internet access the whole time! and if found that if i'm activel "surfing" the web, and giving it new pages to load, the downloads will continue and stay and at consistent amount of "time remaining". can anyone tell me what might be going on? it is so bizarre. also, i've been told by many companies that high-speed is not available in my area. CLEARLY it is! is there a way i can find out where the signal is coming from or any info about the network? thanx a million! sorry so long.
David

thanx a bunch!

  • Tomcat6 startup reports fail, but I can access the web page

    I'm installing tomcat6 to try to run mythpodcaster.  I followed the wiki on installation, but when I start tomcat6 I get a report of fail.  However, I can access the tomcat page on the server.
    catalina.err gives me some info messages, don't see anything there of concern
    catalina.out gives me 2 warnings; No appenders could be found for logger (com.mchange.v2.log.MLog).  and Please initialize the log4j system properly.
    I haven't figured out either of these warnings yet, but in any event, why do I get a fail on startup of tomcat6?

    Hello,
    Have you managed to fix this?
    Startup scripts have changed a bit in the past tomcat6 packages. May I ask which version you are running?

  • Downloaded iOS 6 onto my iPhone 3GS. Can't download new apps but I can update apps??

    Since updating my iPhone 3GS to iOS 6 yesterday I haven't been able to download new apps. I can still update apps, but when I try downloading a new app I put in my password when prompted, it says installing for a few moments and the loading bar appears. But it never starts to load (no blue in the install bar) and then just stops and the app is displaying as if I've never installed it. Anyone else had this and does anykne know how to fix it?
    Thanks

    If you're using an iPhone 4 as it says in your profile, you're not supposed to have Siri after updating to iOS6

  • Downloading Update Failed - Internal Module Error

    Trying to update my Nokia 6630, and each time it completes the 25mb download before giving me the error.
    Downloading update failes
    Internal module error
    Is this because my phone is a a Vodafone fone, and therefore locked by their software to some description? Or is it a more sinister (or simpler) error?

  • Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto the shuffle. My laptop crashed whish had all my new music

    Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

    All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
    When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
    At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
    Click Synch Music.
    Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
    Now just synch the iPod.

  • I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod.  All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead

    I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod.  All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead.  I am unable to get the ipod to move and I don't know what to do.  I think I should be recompenced by Apple if I have to pay to get it fixed!

    The logo is saying connect it to your computer with iTunes installed on the computer.  I assume when yo do this that the iPod is not seen in iTunes. to make iTunes appear try:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Place the iPod in recovery mode.  See:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Place the iPod in DFU mode:
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    If the iPod appears in iTunes restore the iPOd.  If not I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
    You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • I bought the Dreamweaver CS5 for Windows a few years ago. Now I have also a Mac Book pro, where I have to Install the Dreamweaver CS5. I have made the Download for Mac, but I can't Install it. When I push the button, I got an error message.

    CS5 for Windows can only be installed on Windows operating system.
    You would need to purchase CS5 for Mac OS.
    Given that CS5 is now 4 versions back, it's unlikely you'll find a copy.

  • I want to download an app, but i can't because i have forgotten my security questions.  Is there a way to change them without needing the old ones?

    I want to download an app, but i can't because i have forgotten my security questions.  Is there a way to change them without needing the old ones?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
